He told police the pair owed him money for about a quarter pound of marijuana, and claims when he confronted them one pulled a sub-machine gun so he began shooting, according to the police report.
Police said the victims suffered multiple wounds.
Bruny is being held at the Palm Beach County Jail. A judge denied him bond at a first appearance Monday morning.
Police have not officially identified the victims.
